Mount TBR Challenge 2023 discussion

61. Selected Literary Essays C.S. Lewis There is no doubt that C.S. Lewis is much smarter and much more well-read than I, but what I could understand I enjoyed.
62. Phineas Finn I like the Barchester Chronicles better than these books set with Parliament as the background, but they are interesting enough to keep me reading them.
63. Murder is Binding Lorna Barrett Not high lit, but interesting enough that I will at least finish the ones I already own in the series.
64. The Book of Three It had been a looong time since I last re-read these, and they hold up extremely well!
65, Fawkes Nadine Brandes Very creative, although I have some minor quibbles, such as the use of an anachronistic term.
66,The Black Cauldron Lloyd Alexander So happy to be re-reading these!
67, Deception on His Mind Elizabeth George My love/hate relationship with her books continues. I don't like some of the forms of expression and some of the things expressed, but most nastiness is ultimately recognized as nastiness and thus there is a certain moral note among all the messiness. And she writes well--in this one, I underlined several things I thought were well stated.
68. Castle in the Air Diana Wynne Jones Great fun, all ridiculously but effectively pulled together in the end.
69. O Christmas Bree Erynn Mangum Short, sweet, and surprisingly non-typical ending for the type of book it is.

A great climb, nonetheless! Terrific!
